The Venue Description

From Los Angeles to West Nanjing Road, The Venue has made its debut in the heart of Shanghai, founded by Thomas Bao. The 2,200 square meter space is spread across a restaurant, lounge, club and eight private KTV rooms of varying sizes, split over two levels. 

“The Venue – at its core – is about creating new social and entertainment experiences for guests through a curated artistic atmosphere that focuses on sharing – between guests, diners, dancers, bartenders, chefs, and all those who enter this unique venue,” says CEO Danielo Hoti, a man with an impressive 20-year industry career spanning London’s Quaglino to M1NT in London, Cannes, Hong Kong and Shanghai. 

The space is designed by world-renowned artist and designer Davis Krumins, while famed lighting architect Stephen Lieberman of SJ Lighting curated an eclectic light show – one that pulses and shines in varying colors to the beat of the DJ’s music blaring across the state-of-the-art Funktion-One sound system. Expect an integrated audio and visual sensorial experience for party-goers and diners alike. 

The Venue plays host to anything from cocktail parties to sit-down dinners, from fashion shows and art exhibitions to weddings and corporate functions. For all those swanky nightlife lovers who enter, from dinner to post-diner drinks to clubbing the night away, there’s no need to leave The Venue, hence the name, an all-in-one space.
